Mijello Fusion Airtight/Leakproof Palettes

Mijello Fusion Palettes are both lightweight airtight and leakproof, making them ideal for travel and plein air painting. They are constructed of high-impact plastic with rich finishes, and each is equipped with a special sealing ring that locks in moisture.

All sizes include a removable mixing tray that fits neatly inside the lid, which can also double as an additional palette.

I purchased this palette for taking some of my tube watercolors with me into the field along with my sketch journal, and so far it's worked very well. The deep, angled wells hold quite a bit of paint, more than I need for most sketchwork but that's okay with me as I tend to refill frequently depending on what's planned for that day. I love the two large mixing areas, but my favorite thing about this palette is the removable mixing area. It fits snugly into the lid but is easy to remove for cleaning.

My only issue with the palette is a small one and not something that would keep me from buying this brand again or recommending it to others. If the paint isn't dry the colors will mix a bit during travel, which I hadn't expected. While nothing escaped the closed palette, the center area of the two halved don't fit quite snuggly enough together when closed to entirely hold the paints in their individual wells. Like I said though, this is a small issue. Just let the paints dry overnight and you're good to go.

I have several travel palettes and this one is already my favorite, in fact I'm thinking about ordering one with more wells in the very near future.

Took this out on a trip to San Fransisco in hopes of squeezing in some plein air paintings, found that I could fit a few brushes and a damp "sponge" in there and still have the lid closed comfortably. Albeit, the moist paint that comes in contact with them get them a little wet, but nothing that can't be dealt with.

Panned these paints a couple days ago-- I had a heavily honey-based blue paint that slid out of its pan, but to me, that just means the palette did a good job of retaining fluidity out of the tube.. and I should probably store it clasp-down if it must be stored vertically. Other paints are still fluid, a couple have dried by now, but dry time is definitely elongated.

Walked a bunch with this in my tote and you can see how the paint that traveled was stopped at the rubber lining. The clasp of the lid doesn't seem to have an over-compensatingly tight closure, I feel like it might be just barely enough for liquid not to escape. That being said, I wonder what would happen if I left this palette in a place warm enough to possibly distort the rubber to where it doesn't hold liquid in as well as it originally did. I suppose time will tell if such is the case, but thankfully, thus far, this palette serves exactly its purpose and well worth the money.

I received my new palette and was impressed for various reasons. First, it's design was very stylish yet maintaining the integrity of white on the inside for color mixing. Second, it was so sleek and lightweight transporting it is a breeze, fitting most anywhere. Last, but certainly not least, because of its leak-proof design it kept my colors fresher.

I bought this for use with watercolours. Shortly after its arrival, I put some paints into my new "airtight" palette. One of the colours dried overnight.

When I looked closely at it, the problem seemed to be that the sides are not held as tightly as the center, which is where the latch is. There is an obvious gap on both sides which, while not very large, is large enough to allow air through and my paint to dry.

It is a nice palette, really. It looks sturdy and firmly closes with a latch. I can close the lid and pile other objects in my painting area without worrying about the paint being contaminated. It is, unfortunately, not as advertised and fails in the primary function I bought it for, and I am very disappointed.

I needed something that would keep my paint fresh and not dry. This came in the mail and I was very excited. This keeps my paints fresh and it is airtight. The clear mixing portion for blending is perfect and very easy to clean after.

I am not a pro watercolorist, but I needed a pallet to place my colors in that has enough spaces for my 12 exotic Quinacridones with enough left over to place my Cretacolor Watercolor pencil colors when I sharpen them. 33 slots is a lot of storage, and the watertightness will keep the spilling and messiness of the colors at bay. I highly recommend this brand of Watercolor pallet to anybody getting started and needing a way to transport their colors in a neat and controlled manner.

I plan to purchase the Mijello Fusion Airtight/Leakproof Pallet, 24 well pallet in the near future to complement my watercolor equipment! Yes! It is that good!

I use this with my watercolors, but I really enjoy using it for my over glaze mineral,paint for painting porcelain. It is compact and light weight with a lid that keeps dust out of the paint. I love the removable trays so I can use them as well as the lid as a mixer or brush conditioning area. When traveling, the lightness is an even bigger plus! I have talked at least 6 or more other students into using them for their paint. Totally delighted with this product.
